On Her Majesty's grant of Woodstock Park, &c

Description

" ... To His Grace the Duke of Marlborough, 1704. In a letter to Signior Antonio Verrio at Hampton-Court". First line reads: Renown'd in arms, when mighty heroes rise. In one column. Authorship attributed to Bainbrigg Buckeridge. The grant to Marlborough was due, in part at least, to victory at Blenheim - "Marlborough finally returned to London on 25 December 1704, and on 28 January 1705 the queen granted him the former royal manor of Woodstock, with its historical associations as the birthplace of the Black Prince and of the romantic liaisons of Henry II with his mistress, Rosamond Clifford. The grant included the hundred of Wotton, comprising together a total of some 22,000 acres in Oxfordshire, then estimated to produce revenue of about £6000 a year" (DNB).
